One step forward ...

two steps back. Having the right tool for the job is very important and helpful. This week I started quilting my commissioned quilt and decided to try straight stitches ... and so I used my new walking foot. It works so very beautifully and I really like it! BUT, I should have been checking the back while I stitched because while the front looks beautiful, the back is all puckered. My issue was that I started around the outside and so the flannel stretched and now I'm doing hours and hours of ripping out stitches. Let that be a lesson unto me ... ALWAYS start in the middle and work my way out.

My Word for 2012

FLY

But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired. Isaiah 40:31
